Mainly engaged in the research of aquatic animal nutrition physiology, immunology of aquatic animals, and the control and prevention of aquatic animal diseases. By integrating modern biotechnology with nutritional physiology research methods, the underlying molecular mechanisms of nutritional metabolism regulation and utilization in aquatic animals, as well as stress resistance, disease resistance, and adaptation mechanisms in aquatic animals, with the focus on the use of ecologically friendly additives such as probiotics, traditional Chinese medicines, are studied. The focus is on the regulation mechanism of these eco-friendly additives in enhancing the immunological and physiological responses, with the aim of controlling and preventing diseases of aquatic animals.

主要从事水生动物营养生理学、水生动物免疫学、水生动物疾病防治的研究。将现代生物技术与营养生理学研究方法相结合，以益生菌、中药等生态友好型添加剂的使用为重点，研究水生动物营养代谢调控和利用的潜在分子机制，以及水生动物的抗逆性、抗病性和适应性机制。重点研究这些生态友好型添加剂在增强水生动物免疫和生理反应方面的调控机制，以期达到控制和预防水生动物疾病的目的。
